An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Finally, the faked moon landing conspiracy nuts get their proof, and then some.Not only does "Operation Avalanche" tell the cold war truth of America's ridiculous claim to lunar escapades, but it's also a nifty espionage thriller, complete with gun play and classic car chases. A pair of documentarians, originally hired to sniff out a Russian mole, soon hatch a plot to film the impending (impossible) moon landing with some clever cinema magic. A tricky plan for sure, but when spy agencies heat up the cold war plans, our filmic nerds are in for the ride of heir life.Filmed on crackly old stock, old school, old film, "Operation Avalanche" captures the bizarro undercover adventures of the CIA, when the fate of everything America felt near and dear to her heart rested on conquering a barren, grey hunk of space rock.Could this found footage documentary be the real deal? You decide, and along the way, enjoy the greatest in-car filmed chase since "Bullitt".

Do not get carried away by what these Jonny's say, the movie Has an average of 6.1, give it a try Regards Billy BobFirst of all the film is a FOOTFOTAGE (hence its austere aesthetic) DON'T CRITIC without understanding that it is a pseudo documentary on the Mission Apollo 11 (we will not walk spoiling) What starts as one Comedy is becoming more thick and sinister. Highly recommended For those who enjoy conspiracy theories and do not deny it That is not a Hollywood blockbuster.These lines are just to annoy Alejandro and it costs me an egg to arrive at 10 (which is the least they accept here), thanks googles translator and Pinitos03

Good story telling, good story. 60's style (coloring etc), "amateur camera leading" (smoother than Blairwitch Project). For those who use "conpiracy theory", please do some research on: "Operation Ajax" Iran 1953 "Jacobo Árbenz" Guatemala 1954 "Kennedy assassination" USA 1963 "The Gulf of Tonkin incident" Vietnam 1964 "Salvador Allende" Chile 1973... "Olof Palme" Sweden 1986 "Nayirah (testimony)" / "Hill & Knowlton" Kuwait/USA 1990 "Wesley Clark" about "7 Countries in 5 Years" 20. Sept. 2001 USA/Pentagon "Rationale for the Iraq War" USA/Iraq 2002 (little bottle of milk in Gen. Powell's hand, CIS-Satellite-Photos of "Chemical Warfare Industrie") "Lybian Spring/Uprising" 2011 (faked news about uprising in the south of Tripoli) "The Change in Uraine" 2013 (by CIA Snipers), "Fuck the EU", "Jaz is our guy", "We spent 5 Billion $" (Victoria Nuland)After 1945, USA made over 128 "System-Changes" worldwide by Coup d'état or War.

WOW... I have been a moon landing skeptic for most of my life, reading, watching and arguing over the details of whether or not we really DID land on the moon. I want to believe, I really do. I'd hate to think that our government would have lied to us, but what better distraction from the issues that were happening at the time, then something like a moon landing? Think about it, JFK, RFK, and MLK all murdered, a war no one wanted, civil rights clashes, riots, Kent state, Manson, you name it, it was all happening. What better way to distract people from all that?This movie is a perfect dialog on exactly that, distracting people away from the truth, and showing that faking the moon landing could've in fact been 'plausible'. When I first started watching it, I thought that maybe it deserved a bigger budget, better production, well known actors, but no. I think that would've watered down the story, and missed the mark.The people who made this movie did a fantastic job. I don't know what the budget was for this but, the look and feel puts the audience right in the time line of the late 60's. The sets, the vehicles, the locations all perfect to transport you to that time period. If there was ever a movie adaptation book worth writing it would be for this movie.Touching on the Stanley Kubrick conspiracy was also genius. For years his involvement has been mentioned, and it was tastefully included here. Well done. Showing that not only was the reason the moon landing could've been faked, possible. The creators show you HOW it might have been done, in a very believable way.This movie felt like it should have been THE X-Files movie.
